On the surface, Penelope Lancaster appeared kind, yet she spoke unpleasant words in a breezy manner.
Nina Sinclair felt a surge of anger upon hearing Penelope Lancaster’s bizarre comments.
Setting aside the fact that she wasn’t Julian Lancaster’s girlfriend yet, what did this woman mean by saying she’s unworthy of Julian Lancaster?
Whether they are worthy or not is none of her business!
Nina Sinclair was always tough and wasn’t afraid of being oppressed.
She smirked defiantly and said, "I suppose whether I’m worthy of Julian Lancaster is not up to you, is it? You’re just his aunt, not his mother, and can’t determine these things. As long as I feel worthy, that’s enough!"
Seeing Nina Sinclair earlier, Penelope Lancaster thought she was a fragile girl who could be easily manipulated. She didn’t expect Nina would dare to talk back.
Being accustomed to commanding others for years and unable to tolerate defiance, Penelope Lancaster pressed her lips tightly, a trace of displeasure in her eyes as Nina Sinclair showed no respect.
Quickly regaining her composure, Penelope Lancaster sneered, "It seems Miss Sinclair is indeed confident, but of course... For families like ours, many girls shamelessly want to marry in, which I can understand..."
Families like theirs?
Nina Sinclair squinted, doubting Penelope Lancaster’s words.
Isn’t Julian Lancaster just a driver? His aunt was overly confident, acting so condescendingly.
Before Nina could think further, she heard Penelope Lancaster say, "You used to date Vincent Lancaster, and for most women, a relationship like that means they wouldn’t have the dignity to be with Julian. It seems you’ve abandoned integrity and shame in your pursuit." The source of this content ɪs NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt
Her words were mild, but the implication was that Nina Sinclair was shameless.
Nina Sinclair’s expression darkened, and she retorted coldly, "Madam Lancaster, I did date Vincent Lancaster, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that!"
"We dated normally and parted cleanly, so how is it that in your view, this is without integrity or shame? Did you not date anyone before marriage? Was your relationship with your ex-boyfriend also without integrity or shame?"
Nina Sinclair was a hedgehog; when sensing danger, she instinctively raised her spikes to protect herself.
Now with Penelope Lancaster being this way, Nina naturally wouldn’t hold back and refuted everything!
Although today it wasn’t Madam Sinclair confronting her, Nina saw the shadow of Madam Sinclair in Penelope Lancaster, awakening the fighting spirit within her.
Penelope Lancaster didn’t expect Nina Sinclair to be so eloquent, spouting nonsense right in front of her; clearly, there’s nothing worth discussing with such a woman.
Her expression grew colder, then she picked up an envelope and gently placed it on the table before Nina Sinclair.
"Here is fifty million. If you agree to leave Julian Lancaster, you can take this check and go. I believe this sum is enough for you to live a wealthy life."
"Of course, you can refuse. I believe Miss Sinclair would rather play the role of someone unfazed by wealth. However, let me remind you, it’s just the two of us here, no need for strenuous acting, no one will see."
"If you think holding on now will yield greater gains later, I believe you are mistaken. I will make you regret today’s decision; the position of Madam Lancaster isn’t easy to occupy!"
Penelope Lancaster wore a faint smile, but her words were extremely dangerous.
Her face full of confidence, as if Nina Sinclair before her was just an ant that she could easily crush at any moment.
